Neil Gaiman, let’s be realistic. A 21-year-old working in the home of a man four decades her senior cannot truly give meaningful consent to any type of sexual encounter, let alone within mere hours of meeting him. Even though you are denying it was not consensual, the fact you have conceded the sexual encounter did happen at all is a full confession. You are, by your own admission, a predator.
#neil gaiman#tw sa#cw sa#tw power imbalance#my heart goes out to his victims and to the people who found comfort in his work#sorry you have all been failed by a man who should have protected you - not preyed on you#i believe victims!!!#sa tw#abuse tw#power imbalance#trying to hit this with as many tags as possible because i don't know what triggering tags people have blocked#and i want to be respectful here of survivors

Not some peoples on here and TikTok going:
“You don’t like the ending because your favorite character died”
Hell yeah? Literally why wouldn’t I be pissed that my favorite character who could be saved died? Dabi has one of the most realistic backstories and best characterizations in Mha, actually not only in Mha but Anime/Manga in general and do you know how taboo of topics domestic violence, child abuse and raping are in Japan? Mind you, Japan is a country that has domestic violence normalized in their country as part of marriage and somehow education too. Y’all might think I’m joking but victims of domestic abuse in Japan are struggling very much to this day, but Japanese peoples rarely talks about it because Japan is a “Family Image” oriented society (Endeavor and the Himuras showed it enough me thinks) so they categorically refuse to let people know abuse happens, especially the abusers.
“Oh BuT aLL aBuSeRs DoN’t WaNt It To Be KnOwN”, I know but in Japan it’s normalized to just live through it and that (together with bullying) it’s one of the reasons the suicide rate in Japan is one of the highest globally, hope it helps to get a better grasp on everything I’m trying to say.
Horikoshi has depicted it perfectly, because you know… He lives there and even the final outcome (Rei becoming Enji’s caretaker after years of abuse) it’s very much Japanese style. Which is why the Todoroki family ending it’s wrong and disturbing. Wrong, and disturbing.
And as if one of Enji’s victims becoming his caretaker isn’t enough, one of his other victims had to die because of his actions.
“No BuT tOuYa WeNt OfF wItH hIs QuIrK oN hIs OwN”, and who was the main reason and cause he went off like that with his Quirk? Endeavor.
Yep. Thought so too.
I don’t get why some of you are bending backwards, doing backflips and cartwheels to defend Endeavor just because he’s an Hero like— I’m sorry but he is the depiction of a realistically fact that even if your job (YOUR JOB!) is to save other people, behind closed doors that same person who saves other people can still be a shitty person who’s a curse to his own family, because Endeavor is just Enji Todoroki’s façade.
And he’s a well-written character because the depiction of abuser Horikoshi did of him it’s accurate to reality. Enji is egotistical, narcissistic, greedy, self-centered and selfish, which are all the characteristics that made him physically unable to actually address any of what he did until Dabi’s reveal, despite knowing that he was dead wrong and that together with the fact that he waited almost a decade to apologize to his family, is the reason why I genuinely don’t give a flying fuck about his “redemption”. If sorrow was eating you alive why didn’t you apologize sooner, trash?
Touya never got the closure he deserved, actually none of the Leagues got it and you know why? Because the whole War arc was rushed, you can tell by the way Shigaraki was offed. From a writing standpoint it was laughable, seriously.
What’s even worse is that… Nothing has actually changed in the Hero society despite the fact that nine years have passed, because people like Touya, Shigaraki and Toga will never be actually saved because Heroes have failed miserably to save the prime examples of what’s to be saved.
And no, they weren’t saved because death isn’t salvation for people who want to live, be accepted and loved. You guys that think this way genuinely scare me and I want y’all far away from me.
Like— To sum what I’m trying to say: We can’t cry and hate Mha’s ending because of all this, but some of y’all can cry, kick sheets, throw up, crashout and hate the ending over fucking ships?
Wow…
#— ❥ kelrambles;#boku no hero academia#my hero academia#bnha#mha#dabi#touya todoroki#shigaraki tomura#tenko shimura#toga himiko#todofam#anti endeavor#like— i’ve been getting in my tiktok fyp this bkdk shipper who’s twenty-two (22) crashing out because izoc became canon#and that had me unlocking a new facial expression that i didn’t knew i had#but suddenly i am weird and crazy for hating the ending because my favorite character died???#🦗🦗🦗🦗#you know who’s actually weird??? IT’S Y’A—#can’t believe i had to explain why an abuser surviving and being unpunished while one of his victims died pisses me off#crazy work guys… crazy work…#no because listen… horikoshi took into his hands VERY SERIOUS matters that in japan need to be talked about more#but in the end he still didn’t have enough balls to end these matters the rightful way because of japan’s conservative ass#idk guys… i thought horikoshi would handle the many IMPORTANT topics he put in this serie way better than this…#guess my expectations were a tad bit too high

The story of a new victim just came out: maybe now people will stop defending this man once and for all.
This thread goes a bit into detail of what is talked about in this episode: there is some serious talk of abuse, as well as mental manipulation. He said to Claire:
"I'm a wealthy man, I'm used to getting what I want".
"I don't know what I see in you: I'm an award winning best selling author, and you are..."
This is who Neil Gaiman really is.

Daisuke to me represents the type of person who you have to bottle up your pain around because they are ill equipped to handle it. He would realistically not know what to do realizing that among the people he idolizes one is this horrendous monster, especially since he is so optimistic to a hazardous level to himself.
This makes his relationship with Anya so upsetting because as much as he could confide in her she could never confide in him. That very conscious fact/choice on her part is a constant reminder of her suffering along with the hopeless inability to do anything herself about it that ruins her mental state more.
#a very common tactic of abusers is to surround themselves in unaffiliated groups so their victims feel less secure outing them as abusers#it’s common enough that they know the person may not be believed or will be seen as the aggressor for trying to make problems between peopl#who personally had none with the abuser or use the leverage of those parties not deserving to be burdened with the knowledge as a way to#escape responsibility and while we don’t know how intentional this is on Jimmy’s part I think it was very intentional on Wrong Organs#seeing as Anya only tells Curly and Swansea in secure and secluded locations and obviously doesn’t let Daisuke know#not to mention how easy it is to sway Daisuke in convincing him to drug Swansea whether he realized the severity of the action#but back to the direct relationship Anya would definitely feel a unique pain at seeing Daisuke be so friendly to Jimmy and be none the wise#to why she isn’t#mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#nurse anya

guys, let's not speak for tommy. although i get looking back at "signs," and i also can't help but feel bad for tommy, his story is his, not ours. we can be concerned, and we have every right to be concerned, but being intrusive isn't helping him. what will help him is listening to him when he's ready to speak.

my parents: absolute rage at my nerve to look like I need attention, immediate shaming and blaming me for being unwell/sick/injured with the added implication that I did this to myself on purpose specifically to ruin their life

killer deliberately provoking people into attacking or hurting him—especially anyone who claims that they “don’t want to fight him” or “don’t want to hurt him”—sometimes for the purpose of satisfaction and validation in the belief that pain will always be a part of his existence and everyone feels the same urges to hurt or be hurt that he does and everyone would love the chance to hurt him if he just let them or gave them a valid excuse.
he really likes provoking the so called “pacifists” into doing horrid shit like snapping his bones or you know almost killing him cuz its just further proof that he’s right

Alright, I'm going to write my own thoughts down on the situation, sorry if this gets rambly
First of all, Shubble is so brave for speaking up, it's really hard for victims to speak up against there abusers in a public setting and she deserves all the respect in the world for it
That being said we do need to be mindful to give her space, this was a really traumatic thing for her and we all need to be mindful of that, give her room to breath.
On the same lines, don't go after other ccs for not ""releasing statements"", content creators aren't companies, there people. Don't get on at them for not publicly supporting Shubble, especially since there undoubtedly doing it in private, which is probably better than shoving it out there for millions of people to see. Let people support there friend in a way they and shubble are confortable with, if shubble wants them to say something or they think they need to say something themselves, they will say it.
It's like Pearl said, just because you don't see something happening publicly doesn't mean it isn't happening
Also, don't jump to call Tommy or Phil or Grian or anyone else enablers because they haven't said anything, they'll need time to process this too, it's hard to find out that your friend is a domestic abuser, let them process this in piece and don't try to cancel them over nothing like a fool. (People like Tommy will need time especially since Wilbur befriended them when they were young and by all accounts manipulated them too)
If anyone of these people have anything they feel they need to say they'll say it when there good and ready, good life tip folks:Don't Harass People. Especially if they have almost nothing to do with this (honestly Saw someone say they were going to go on to fucking RT about this despite him not knowing either person very well, the fuck)
I know why people do it, they want to make sure there favourite content creators aren't also bad, but they are people and they deserve respect, I can garentee you that almost no Qsmp or Hermitcraft or Other MCYT member who knew him stands with Wilbur
(Also if anyone brings Techno into this fuck right off let the man rest.)
Also, some brain dead morons are saying that people calling out wilbur are doing it for clout and that they should have done it sooner, but most of the abuse happened in private, and wilbur manipulated others, many wouldn't have realised anything was wrong and if they did its still better and more respectful to come forward after shubble since its HER story to tell.
(This attack also doesn't work anymore because we have things like tubbos stream, where he actively discourages his chat from treating him like a hero for speaking out, but yeah sure they all don't give a shit about shubble and just want to make themselves look better, fuck outta here)
Now, if your a former wilbur fan, let me make this super clear
DONT WATCH HIM AND DONT LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC
"BuT SePuRaTe ThE ArT FrOm ThE Arti-
Nah. That doesn't work here. You can separate a book or game or movie, you can't with a cc. Its there face, there voice, there personality. Find a different band, find a different CC to watch. There are other options, I know it sucks to find out someone you like did an awful thing,but that doesn't mean we should support those people for our sakes, especially when people were actively hurt by there actions. Trust me everyone, this will get better, things will go back to how they were before
Finally, this should go without saying, Fuck William Gold to the core of teh fucking earth. And any who still support him.
He is a raging egotistical manipulator and abuser. don't blame people for not seeing it sooner, no one can do that. What we can do though is blame people who still wholeheartedly support him and his actions.
He has not "changed" nor will he ever at the rate at which he's going. He's still a egomaniac who's more concerned with saving his image than actually apologising for his actions, even then an apology wouldn't fix all he's done,it would just be closer and a jumping off point to be better, but he can't even fucking do that.
If wilbur does reflect and grow, good on him, but if he doesn't then I can say with absolute certainty we wouldn't fucking miss him.
Fuck Wilbur. Support Shelbym
#wilbur soot#fuck wilbur soot#shubble#shelby grace#support shubble#believe victims#believe Shubble#im probably gonna disappear for the rest of the day#possibly tomorrow two#again shubble is so brave and im glad she spoke up#also sorry for the swearing im just mad#tw: abuse#tw: swearing

Cdream be like: You can't put yourself in the Prison anymore bc of the woke >:(/lh
That man is a mess like it's facinating how messy his vision of reality is for others and himself
it is fascinating fr, and does remind me of how we'd talk a little bit about how his perspective may betray what kind of environment this guy might've been in pre-dsmp. the stick-up-his-ass about rules and rule-following, the neuroticism about conflict, and the ease with which he jumps to punishment as being the appropriate response to people who cause problems (a perspective that, quite evidently, to a certain extent, does apply to himself, doesn't it?) all seems quite indicative of someone who lived in an environment where punishment being the natural consequence of stepping outside the lines was generally something that went unquestioned. of course, this is speculative, and it's not that a #tragicbackstory is necessary to explain what the fuck is up with c!Dream, and it's hardly about justifying the choice to abuse a teenager into behaving, lmao. but while exile served his goals and exile was a lot of petty, spiteful cruelty for petty, spiteful reasons, i do think there's something to be said about how clearly c!Dream hadn't expected c!Tommy to respond quite so severely to exile and how he thought he would be "fine" with potatoes in the prison and the language he used both about exile and his own early prison stay about shit like "getting better" through punishment. of course, punitive justice as a norm is kind of ingrained in our own society (just look at the rhetoric around deserving in this fandom, lmao, which speaks more than well enough for itself) and of course that reflects onto the dream smp as well, considering how many of the characters talk quite freely about the idea of punishment/deserving/what have you, but few characters are quite as obviously a stickler for rule-following as c!dream and exile and then prison are uhhh definitely on the more extreme end of things. anyway. just some food for thought
#my asks !!#tw abuse#it's part of why i get a little uncomfortable with the rhetoric about abuser/victim that is so common on the internet these days#bc there's often this notion of these two categories as being mutually exclusive completely distinct groups of people#and well honestly being abused normalizes abuse to a person? many people who think beating a child is fine actually were beat themselves#if you live in a world where the framework exists that punishment is the natural consequence for breaking the rules#then you will believe and often later on enforce the idea of punishment as the natural consequence for breaking the rules#there's stuff with c!dream re: this topic that's more speculative and there's stuff that's less so#(especially if you look at the weird ways he seems to be about his own redemption to c!wilbur during pogtopia)#(and that in relation to the consequences of the revolution)#but anyway. just a little ramble

"Angry robin" "violent robin" "misbehaving robin" shut up and accept my alternative; spunky Robin. Determined and head strong, can out-stubborn the Batman, has a strong moral-backbone and does what he thinks is right regardless of what anybody else says, Robin. Jason who was sassy and quippy and made crude jokes with a smile on his face. Jason who hid in Bruce's cape and whispered gossip to him. Jason who, if Bruce refused him something, could keep bothering endlessly until Bruce caved. And also dramatic Jason. If Bruce tells him no, it becomes a whole theatrical show; a monologue, a narration, embellishments, and falling onto the floor in his grief upon the fact his cruel father has denied him once again.
(Jason who has suffered through abuse and homelessness and poverty and starvation, who is the Fight out of Fight or Flight, who's built up defenses and walls and when pushed and triggered responds with the thing that's always protected him; anger. He's sweet and kind and funny, and when he sees a pimp hitting a prostitute he gets furious and responds with violence.)
#my dc posting#dc#jason todd#jaybin#im having so many thoughts abt jaybin and he is so important to me#in one fic he went on a hunger strike bc alfred didnt eat w them and did it for so long they had to compromise#i love a jaybin 100% willing to menace and bother batman until the man folds. as is his right#the thing abt jason's backstory is that it shows him unwilling to suffer for a home#ma gunn's is bad; he gets beat up and she tries to get him to help rob a place. so he leaves! and rats the whole thing out to batman#and shows up himself cus he didnt think he had been believed#and lets not forget the fact he hit batman with a tire iron and called him a 'big boob'!#the boy's got moxie!! let jaybin be crass and angry and sassy and flawed and traumatized without reducing him to 2d caricature of a 'troubl#d kid'#i dont like a jason who did nothing but use excessive violence and disobey orders and be cocky and all that shit#i like a jason who was. oh yknow. a complex person!! a child/teen who has been fucking abused!!!#you shouldnt erase the fact that jason's reaction/response to stressful situations and triggers IS anger#it's not an indication that he was always gonna become a criminal/red hood or whatever. get outta here w that shit#but like. let us not go so far in the other direction we forget to have him react and be affected by the abuse he's suffered#anyway. if anyone should be a drama-queen it should be jaybin. once he becomes truly comfortable w bruce he should dial it up to 11#a lot of red hood's appeal (to me&many others) is that he is an 'imperfect' victim. meaning he is angry and flawed and doesnt suffer quietl#but is loud and obvious abt it#so when i see jaybin written as the opposite its like. man whats that about#anyway. jaybin is good and cares and wants to help and protect people. and by god if i ever see anybody writing#him having arguments with bruce about the no kill rule WHILE robin again im gonna throw hands istg-#my tags are like a hidden treasure box. most of what i say is in here lmao

cult jokes are a symptom of and contribute to the simultaneous sensationalizing of cults (cults are all dark cloaks and animal sacrifices and devil worship and group suicide and despicable/unhinged beliefs) and diminishing of cults ("uwu come join my CULT XD we're gonna make cookies and WORSHIP SATAN teehee"), but i'm realizing how they go so hand-in-hand with the mindset of "only ~stupid/evil/crazy/etc.~ people could possibly join a cult. if it were me i would simply not fall for cult propaganda."
the diminishing part means that people don't take you seriously if you say you're an ex cult member or talk about your experiences in a cult or believe you are a current victim of a cult, because cults are just silly little groups that have weird beliefs but are otherwise innocuous. the sensationalizing part means people will also not take you seriously because if it was Actually a cult cult, that does harm and has evil beliefs, you should've known better because any reasonable person would have seen through it. the other side of "only an [xyz] person joins a cult" is "i am not an [xyz] person so i will never join a cult or be victim to propaganda and other cult tactics." the other side of "if it were me i would simply not fall for propaganda" is "someone falling for propaganda is fully a choice and a personal failing on their part." and combined they make: if you were [xyz] enough to join a cult and fall for propaganda, that means you deserved it.
people who would never make jokes about any other kind of abuse but feel perfectly fine making cult jokes used to kind of baffle me, because why is joking about personal abuse a problem but large-scale/group abuse is fine? why is it suddenly funny when you're the one that wants to perpetuate the abuse? but if your belief around cults is: "your experience wasn't that bad [diminishing], and if it was that bad [sensationalizing] it was your own fault and personal failing [i would simply not fall for propaganda], which means you deserved what you went through [only stupid/evil/crazy/etc people join cults]" and you don't understand how cults or cult tactics work, cult survivors/victims probably feel like a fair target for jokes (they are not, to be clear).
#i've been trying to write this post for days lmfao it's been stuck in my head#this is the best i've got#ex cult#ex christian#religious trauma#child indoctrination#i am normally a “language changes and evolves” girly (non-binary) but i have to insist on not contributing to this particular one#it not only harms cult victims/survivors (which is reason enough not to do so imo)#it is beneficial to cults and cult leaders that people in general do not take cults seriously#because they can both 1. abuse their current members without consequences#and 2. recruit more people that won't even realize they've been recruited#cults feed on vulnerable people#and believing you are too smart or sane or morally good or whatever else to get sucked into it#ironically makes you more vulnerable#because if you got sucked into it... it obviously can't be a cult

I know people are still rooting for the idea that the Miraculous S5 ending was bad on purpose, and everything about Marinette inheriting Gabriel's mantle as the one who treats Adrien as a perfect, pure, passive object, and keeps him in the dark about everything, and prevents him from having informed choices, and manipulates him into believing that he wasn't really abused, "will be addressed later" and then everything will be great.
However, I don't think this story arc, the one we were watching pre-s5, in salvageable anymore. I don't think a character getting SO dramatically ejected out of their own plot when it was ACTUALLY HAPPENING is something that "can be fixed later".
The awaited resolution for Adrien's personal story was never "Marinette eventually reveals the truth to Adrien after the fact".
It was even less "Lila reveals that Marinette has been lying".
Someone else telling Adrien now, would just ONCE AGAIN rob Adrien of agency and make him a passive object-not-subject observer of his own story.
Whoever may have the dignity to tell Adrien, will still be the one with all the agency and power over him in that situation.
The most agency Adrien can have now would be, like, finding out on his own, against Marinette's will, and then "going evil" or whatever... Which would STILL be obnoxious, because it would portray a victim of abuse seeking autonomy/justice/control of their own life as "going evil" against the will of the abusive authority figures keeping them "safely" under control.🍎
A big part of the problem with the s5+ trajectory is that, yes, Marinette[1] should tell Adrien the truth in order to not continue to be a terrible person who sided with Adrien's abuser against Adrien's human rights. But also... that whole setup is just Not That Satisfying, either.
The satisfying outcome would have been for Adrien to find out himself in a way that had a genuine plot impact and was a significant turning point in his character arc.
However, Gabriel is dead and has been discovered by Maribug and got his Wish, so that possibility has already been thoroughly wasted. RIP.
___
[1] yes, there are several other people who should also tell Adrien the truth in order to not continue to be awful, but, honestly, did we ever expect any better from the likes of Nathalie or Félix, who have been enabling the abuse all along? I know Kagami used to have principles, but she appears to have lost them after getting strangled by the red string and getting reduced to Félix' arm candy. A tragedy really.
#ml writing criticism#ml writing salt#ml critical#ml s5 criticism#ml writing critical#adrien#marinette#garbage moth#autonomy#agency#abuse#abuse apologism#ml s5#for the record this is intended as writing salt not really marinette salt.#she got written into a situation where there aren't really narratively satisfying outcomes. that's the point.#I don't mind if someone tags this as Marinette salt though.#it's just... one of those situations where the whole setup js just written in such an ass way#rather like the ableism thibg where evil Lila is 'taking up resources' and 'inconveniencing others' by faking disabilities#and then poor Marinette isn't believed when she tries to defend herself from Lila's manipulations by revealing the disability faking#like that whole setup was just a fundamentally bad call from the showrunners.#the characters have no REAL agency they just exist according to the showrunners' whims#but what the showrunners did with Adrien was such a dickish acg towards all the abuse victims in their audience#who had found Adrien's story resonant.#whoops forgot to tag#feligami salt

K in the early 2000s. Claire in the early 2010s. Scarlett in 2022.
Neil Gaiman has been preying on fans for decades, in a clear pattern of abuse, he's been doing it for so long. We can now safely say, Neil Gaiman has the pattern of the predator. Same tactics, same targeting vulnerable victims, same abusive tactics.

stolas cheating on stella doesn't mean he's a bad person, stolas cheating on stella is a bad thing because as two high class rich people enforcing the rules of an oppressive society goes, stella obviously cares about those rules and regulations and is angry about the social indignity of being cheated on. stolas, as someone participating as a part of the violent regime, should have recognized that this was going to happen and instead blew her off as a stupid dumb harpie (because she is) and didn't expect her to actualize her threats into violence because he thought very little of her.
#helluva boss#stolas goetia#stella goetia#i talk#you can't go stolas didn't do anything wrong or didn't deserve what happened to him#when as someone participating directly in the violence and oppression of the upper class him not following the fucking rules got to him#he thought he was above consequences and he actually wasn't#but stella also isn't this blameless spotless unproblematic victim of abuse#she is a fucking abuser and is weaponizing the rules against her ex#as someone who doesn't care about the class situation down there i agree stolas didn't actually do anything wrong#people will just see a “man who cheats” and assume he's part of the problem#when situations are always incredibly complicated and multi faceted#and the people who just praise stella uncritically are fucking morons#no they're actually just fucking morons who are enabling an abuser. go fuck yourselves#the reason stolas fucked up is completely out of his control but he does deserve criticism for believing he's above the consequences#he legitimately went in headass into an affair without realizing why people don't openly cheat#man fucked up big time.

While we’re on the subject of Amanda Palmer, does anyone remember the phrase “handmaiden of patriarchy”? That’s what Amanda Palmer is. A woman who essentially trafficked other women to her rapist husband, birthed a son to be groomed by said rapist and has done other shit to degrade women throughout her entire career.
I am not one of those women who believes all women under patriarchy are pure victims. Sure, we all suffer from it in one way or another. Palmer is a rape victim herself, but we all have a choice to uplift other women and stand up for ourselves or contribute to the problem and Palmer chose to contribute. You can’t tell me she was poor or powerless and had to do what Gaiman said either. She was a successful artist in her own right with her own money and everything. She was Gaiman’s accomplice not his victim. Feminists are going to have to face the reality of misogynistic women at some point without screaming “the patriarchy made her do it!”
We’re all under the same patriarchy, but not all of us choose to do what Palmer did. It’s not like Palmer was ignorant either, she was a self identified feminist. A liberal feminist mind you, but last time I checked liberal feminists also think rape is wrong.
#Rant#stormy talks#Amanda Palmer#neil gaiman#handmaidens of patriarchy#Rape culture#sexism#I truly believe patriarchy would not exist without complicit women#radical feminist safe#Like Palmer is a rich white woman and for women has the most power in the hierarchy#You’re telling me there was nothing she could do?#Some women like this patriarchy shit A LOT and think there is nothing wrong with it#And I don’t think those women are victims when they choose to victimize others#I mean muh nuance but women like Palmer are obviously just as evil as the men they enable and marry#Like enablers in an abuse scenario are not victims they are getting something out of enabling#This is true of a lot of women under patriarchy and we need to face that

Abusive parents will go 'Oh yeah? Well I had it worse! My parents were bad!' and it's like, Oh? We can acknowledge that your parents were bad? You can say that? You can say they treated you very badly? You know this and are aware of this?
And yet, when raising your own child, you used their methods and decided that you are the victim here? That it's okay because they've done it 'worse'? You're comfortable telling your children that they're paying for however you've been treated, and that you specifically had your children to expose them to all of the bad things that happened to you? The world feels fair to you if your own children are suffering? That's where you take your power?
Your parents were bad and you know this, so you went ahead and became a bad parent on purpose, and you're thinking you're the victim in all this?
#abusive parents#feeble excuses#if you know your parents were bad then you know they treated you bad#so by logic you would not use the same measures to raise your own kids while whining how you had it worse#nobody believes you btw#you don't even know what your children are going trough and what environment they're exposed#they're growing in a different world than you were raised in#what you do to them will feel different from what's been done to you#but you don't care about all that do you#you only care about having those 5 simple words to excuse everything you've done#i've had it worse#anyone in the world can have a traumatic time living in this world#and none of it gives them the right to take it out on children#children are not sacrificial altairs to make people feel better about their past#children are the future and you are taking that future away from them#disgusting victim blaming mongrels
